Just like every other part of the fashion world, active wear goes through trends and the looks being turned out by Brazilian designers this winter are some of the most exciting we’ve seen in years. This week, we look at the biggest active wear trends for winter 2017 and how you can pull them off.

Psychedelic patterns

Brazil is a country of lush rainforests, exotic creatures, sun drenched beaches, and vibrant cultures so it will come as little surprise to know that Brazilian active wear designers are masters when it comes to designing bold, colourful prints. Tropical flowers, neon animal prints, and brightly coloured illustrations are just some of the prints our Brazilian active wear designers have come out with for winter 2017 and they’re a unique look we guarantee you won’t see anyone else wearing in the gym.

Lattices and slits

This peekaboo style has been doing the rounds for a while now and shows no signs of slowing down. Slit backs, mesh panels and macramé backed tops not only look great, they’re great for keeping you cool and holding your clothes in place during a long workout.

Retro styling

1970s fashion is having a huge influence on 2017 style so it was only a matter of time until it made its way into active wear. Work the retro fitness look with a fitted t shirt, barely there running shorts, a visor and knee high socks.

Skirted shorts

A slightly more feminine take on the classic gym booty shorts, the skirted look is perfect for outdoor sports like tennis and volleyball and can also be paired with a t-shirt or tank top for a casual street look.

Branded elastics

This look is borrowed from runway designers like Moschino but it’s perfectly suited to active wear styles. This trend shines a spotlight on the trimmings, with thick elastic contrasting the fabric that the garment is made from. Not only does it help define and accentuate your silhouette, it also holds your clothes in place so they don’t ride up or down whilst you’re exercising.
